[QUOTE="dalek777, post: 253997, member: 5695"] Well stated, Shutyertrap. Since this is my first post, a brief introduction. I'm 60, been a tradesman all my life and bought my first PC about 8 years ago. On my way home from Circuit City with my shiny new computer, I stopped at Barnes & Noble and purchased the Windows for Dummies book. With that and a little help from my friends, I learned computers. Today, I'm by no means a sophisticated user, but I get around the internet quite well and continue to learn. I have a successful internet business, three years old, that won't make me rich, but is a real nice supplement to my income. One of my greatest expectations of my new computer was to while away a few hours playing some of the cool games that I'd seen. My first great disappointment was to learn that I'm not really a gamer. I play chess and a few other games, but I never really got into it an a grand scale. I've been hooked on pinball since I was about five. I always enjoyed the Windows Space Cadet game for what it is and tried a couple of other pinball games on disc, only to be underwhelmed. About a year and a half ago, I discovered Pinball Arcade. I wasn't too hot about the whole Steam thing, but I took the leap, downloaded the program and the free game and was duly impressed. After being totally mesmerized playing Arabian Nights (never my favorite) for a couple hours, I bought seasons 1 and 2 and now own 3,4 and 5 also. It's been a ton of fun, so far. I still play real pinball, but it sure is great to have the next best thing right here on my PC. I especially enjoy some of the tables that you just don't see in bars and arcades anymore. I like the tournaments more than I thought I would and finally broke into the Silver level in the Christmas tourney. I can see plenty of flaws in the games and have been made aware of more by visiting this forum. Overall, it's a positive experience, cheaper than dope and better for you. Kudos to the folks at Farsight for their efforts. [/QUOTE]
